Second 8B by Katharina Saurwein
Katharina Saurwein, #6 in the Boulder WC 2015, has done her second 8B, Fragile Steps 8B in Rocklands. "My Rocklands trip has come to an end frown emoticon but before that I managed to climb 'Fragile Steps' 8b smile emoticon and I am already excited to come back next year! I came very close to other projects, but unfortunately hurt my finger a little, so they will have to wait."
In total, the Austrian has done more than 50 boulders 8A and harder. In 2004, she was #3 in the Lead World Championship being 17 years old and in 2008, she was #4 overall in the Boulder WC, having won one event. (c) Tom Thudium
